Subject: CVE-2022-49956: staging: rtl8712: fix use after free bugs

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@...nel.org>

Description
===========

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

staging: rtl8712: fix use after free bugs

_Read/Write_MACREG callbacks are NULL so the read/write_macreg_hdl()
functions don't do anything except free the "pcmd" pointer.  It
results in a use after free.  Delete them.

The Linux kernel CVE team has assigned CVE-2022-49956 to this issue.

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
